As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was plain to attractive, with flesh being the largest determinant on price. Slaughter cows and bulls were too lightly tested for a market trend but a slightly lower undertone was noted. Temperatures have been in the upper 60's and 70's, but a cold front moving through today has provided a chance of moisture to the trading area later this week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Texas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
